Tommy’s Express Announces 2026 TEACHES Recipients

HOLLAND, MI—Every year, the Tommy’s Express TEACHES scholarship program recognizes team members who have demonstrated their hard work for the organization and exude the “We Own It” philosophy. This year, five outstanding individuals rose to the top, and we couldn’t be more proud to celebrate them.

The Tommy’s Express Assistance with College and Higher Education Scholarship program was established to recognize the legacy of Sonny and Jun Essenburg, whose belief in integrity, education, and community continues to inspire everything we do. Each recipient receives $1,000 to help fund their education at the accredited college, university, or vocational school of their choice.
